Cenotaph refurbishment Project

As part of the WW1 commemoration project it was decided in 2014 that the cenotaph located on Station Road, Dalton should be cleaned and restored. The memorial was looking very dirty and the names of those who gave their lives were very difficult to read. Local firm Mossop Monumental Masons were engaged to carry out the work and the cleaning commenced in early July 2014.The Cenotaph at the nearby village of Newton was cleaned during 2015.

In 2016 the final part of the refurbishment is being undertaken by the Town Council and two new seats have been purchased and installed. Barrow Borough Council helped by arranging for the hedge which runs along the boundary to be pruned and trees which were affecting the surface of the memorial to be cut back.
